H.R. No. 941

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Texas women of every age, culture, and socioeconomic
	background have made historic contributions to the growth and
	strength of this state in countless recorded and unrecorded ways;
	and
	WHEREAS, Texas women have played and continue to play a
	critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of
	this state by making up a significant portion of the labor force
	inside and outside of the home; and
	WHEREAS, Texas women have been leaders in not only securing
	their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the
	abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial
	labor movement, the civil rights movement, the peace movement, and
	other movements, all of which create a more fair and just society
	for all; and
	WHEREAS, Women such as Ann Richards, the second woman to be
	elected as governor of Texas, Barbara Jordan, an African American
	politician and educator who altered the political landscape in
	Texas, Oveta Culp Hobby, the first director of the Women's Army
	Corps, and Emma Tenayuca, a leader of oppressed workers in the
	Mexican American community, have all made a lasting impression on
	Texas history; and
	WHEREAS, Though women have made significant advances, women
	still have great strides to make; and therefore, this legislature
	encourages future generations of women to find the courage and
	strength to continue to fight for women's rights; and
	WHEREAS, Despite these contributions, the role of American
	women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued
	in the literature, teaching, and study of American history; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March as Women's History Month and
	celebrate the contributions made by women of the S
	tate of Texas.
